For another true Italian experience, try Lucky’s Puccia & Pizzeria owned and run by Lucky Sibilla from Taranto (Puglia). Puccia are a type of bread/sandwich traditional in parts of Puglia (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puccia). Lucky prepares his fresh fire baked sandwich in a wood fire oven to order.  He also makes amazing pizza and tiramisù.
